Norwegian terrorism and politically correctness

I've heard so many discourses already about the massacre in Norway, on facebook, on the street, in the forums. And I noticed a pattern: most of them discuss multiculturalism, Marxism and Muslims, while precising that, of course, the crime is unacceptable. People briefly condemn the killer (or simply the crime), but then they analyze arduously the catastrophic situation in which the Western civilization finds itself.

I read in the newspaper that the killer will soon keep a discourse in which he will explain his reasons. In general, media offer generous spaces to his manifestos, projects, ideas.

One could definitely conclude that the killer reached his goal. He didn't kill himself, so he knew that he would be imprisoned, and that all his life and “philosophy” would be made public. And, as he explained it, it was his way to sound the alarm for a vital problem of the Western world. So his goal was to make public his ideas and messages and that they are publicly discussed.

I believe that in accepting to do so, a big part of the media and of the public reached a troubling limit of obscenity. A tragically sick individual (addicted to computer games, steroids, and unable to have relationships other than with prostitutes) turns into a mass murderer, but because he invokes delicate actual themes as a reason, his atrocity is subtly relativised by those who were hiding behind politically correctness, while thinking about the (Muslim) immigration in the same fascist way. They have now the opportunity to spread and support the hate message, by taking advantage of an act which they would probably never do, but which they secretly back.

It's obscene and it's scary. Scary for those (many) Europeans who were lucky not to know the war and the human beast. In moments like this, one can realize how fragile is this peace, how easily many of our friends and neighbors would let themselves dive into hate and crime, if the politically correctness would be repealed for just one day.

While this troubled individual is judged and until he will disappear behind the bars, we should stop talking about the Muslim immigration and multiculturalism. By respect for the victims and for ourselves. We should instead reflect on the fact that from now on terrorism is no more exclusive to dark skinned fanatic uneducated Islamist Arabs and other exotic individuals, but that it is a feature of any race and social group. Who's gonna be checked now in airports? Whom should we fear on the streets of Europe when we see them carrying big backpacks? And which civilizations clash now?

A church for those who pray to no Lord

How should a basilikè (Greek for "church") for the people who do not submit themselves, their souls or their lives to no Lord look like? A basilikè for those who don't believe in any God, or for those who don't care if there is a God, or for those who think that there may be a God, but don't plan to submit to him/her (or Him/Her)... How do you think the place should look like, I mean architecturally, how should the members gather, when, what should they do as members, should they have a Bible, any priest, icons? Should they teach something? What? How? Should they be financed by the State, like any other basilikè? * I prefer basilikè to "church", because the first had no religious meaning at its origin (it meant "royal room")

First Constitutional Principles

There are two things to be done if we want a minimal community, i.e. to finally end the war of all against all: 1) Any person should be given a house at the legal age of 18. This should not depend on other conditions, like work, inheritance, personal characteristics etc. Each citizen should receive the house from her/his own national administration. All the particular cases are to be discussed, bearing in mind the principle itself; 2) The "absolute tax" should be introduced, i.e. a monthly or annual tax to reduce the individual income to a certain maximum level, fixed every year by the local governments (Ex: Sweden decides that in 2008 nobody can earn more than 5000 € / month - average or absolute); Any comments are more than welcome.

efectul calmant al statisticilor

atunci cind citesti o statistica ce repertoriaza un evantai larg pe o tema data, extremele se estompeaza. cel care apartine unei extreme devine membru al unei familii, strabatute si unite de un criteriu comun – sociabilitatea, toleranta, inteligenta, frumusetea etc. gestul repertorierii este el insusi un element precis al unei statistici: aceea a perfectei neutralitati, nu neutralitate a elementului de mijloc, ci firul formal care uneste toate statisticile posibile intr-o practica unitara, din speta enciclopediei chinezesti. Un soi de toleranta absoluta,ce se identifica la limita cu indiferenta absoluta, si deci cu lipsa asumata a nevoii de cunoastere, de transgresare a cochiliei. Linistea pe care ti-o da o statistica este aceea a acceptarii tale ca sociopat, pedofil, geniu al matematicii sau detinator al recordului mondial la sarituri in lungime in marea familie a enciclopediei umane si umanistice universale. Invatacei in ale medicinei, astronauticii, filozofiei, biroticii si manageme...
